No, but either "nothing too loose" or "nothing to lose" might work
instead. };-P

Did anybody listen to the audio from the 911 call? He told the dispatcher that
the craft was guided by a million volts of electricity on the outside skin. It
switches on for a minute every five minutes. Whatever would have generated that
kind of power would weigh a *lot* more than a 6 year old boy.
I think the guy ought to get an award for delivering that line with a straight
face.

A simple Van De Graaff generator ought to be able to
produce that kind of voltage without weighing very much.
Lots of volts. No amps. Nothing like that in evidence though.
